Embrace a new yearIt's a brand new year in the Islamic calendar. The start of the new year 2007, didn't have much of an impact on me. No resolutions made, no countdown, whatsoever. Just another day.
But last night, azan Maghrib, sounded different to my ears. It was like a wake up call for me. I felt closer to Him, I felt remorseful for all those things I did which I shouldn't have done, and for things I didn't do, which I should have done. Flashback, a movie in replay mode played in my mind...seeing people who were in my life, still in my life and others who left or got away.
All those wrongs I did in my life...I prayed hard that Allah forgive me for all that, allow me to start a brand new book, to start afresh with only the rights in my life. To continue guiding me and my loved ones around me.
27 years (almost) hasn't been all easy. Family, Friends, Love, Studies, Work....been a struggle at times. I know it won't stop. And I know Allah gave me all this tough tests in my life cos He knows I'm capable of facing and overcoming them. And cos He loves me, wanting me to be a better Muslimah.
May The Almighty forgives us for all the wrong we've done. Amin.
